Pretty sure that adequate nutrition and health care has a positive effect on children. Still, can’t hurt to double check. Reckon we’ll need to have them here, keep an eye on them. For science.
One local loon called into the local loon radio show and was pretty damn certain that Obama was going to make them child soldiers, give them AK-47s, and let them run the FEMA death camps.
What, and take those jobs away from hard-working American urchins? Impeach!
Even worse, he won’t even buy American when it comes to arming them.
Damn foreign, Commie guns.
Well, you neatly sidestep the the obvious problem that Scott Walker will never be president, but that aside, and aside from the fact that Vampire Lesbian Communists From Uranus would piss off a lot of people if endorsed by a head of state, what the eff is the deal with condemning competent, accomplished people who accurately present the state-of-the-art of scientific theory? Neil DeGrasse Tyson isn’t spewing some conspiracy theory- his show checks out. He’s an honest man. Is that so wrong?
I think what sometimes gets lost in all this partisan bickering is the fact that the rejection of true things is dangerous. My attitude toward the Red States is decidedly NOT “Ok guys, go ahead and reject vaccines and suffer and die from polio, rubella, mumps, whooping cough and all the rest. May your infrastructure crumble and your schools and hospitals close. May your children be uneducated and languish in poverty for all of their days.” NO!! This is America, and that is NOT how things are supposed to play out. But that is exactly the kind of outcome all this anti-intellectualism is going to lead to. ‘Uneducated’ and ‘ignorant’ are conditions every much as poverty, or polio, or whooping cough are. They really aren’t partisan insults at all, but objective assessments. They can be addressed. Let us do it. The goal isn’t to control your lives- getting educated means you can break free from having your lives controlled by the demagogues who yank the chains of your credulity.
Southerners: education is pretty much the opposite of what you’re told it is!
That’s even worse than Michelle Bachmann saying Obama wants the children here so they can be subjects of medical experiments.
But I’m betting that loon on the radio was never their leading candidate for the Presidential nomination during the last race, not even for a day.
Well the American kids generally bring their own guns. I’m sure Obama is just providing those poor unfortunate foreign children with something they’re already used to.
No, but at a certain level of crazy they tend to be fungible.
An education blogger was fired for teaching students about homophones. Yes, you read that right.

In the interest of full disclosure, there’s nothing here that says that the good Mr. Woodger is a Republican. It’s possible that he’s one of those illiterate homophobic Utah liberals that we keep hearing about.
Has to be in the running for the 2014 top ten crazy list. Hard to understand the sheer depth of stupidity and paranoia involved.
She’s trying to get her own show on the Sarah Palin network.
And yet so clearly ignorant of her core demographic. What, like the crowd that shouts at buses of scared kids to go home and get a job is going to care even *if *they really were used as lab rats ? Republicans to empathize with poor and powerless Latinos ? Pffft. As if.
Hell, if straight up murdering immigrants (illegal or otherwise) somehow resulted in better boner pills, half of America would be clamouring for death camps to be built to hasten the process.
The death camps would still have to be for-profit private enterprises, obviously.
If I could get them both in the same room, that would create a negative vortex powerful enough so the I could forge the +10 Dark Sword of Stupid!
Holocaustic privatization? Would the ultimate solution result in outsourcing? Shipping our illegal immigrant children to some other distant country for dispatch? Afghanistan, perhaps?
Sort of. What would happen is that the companies with the contracts would start importing kids. Then those kids would be sent to the out-source country for “killing”. Kid walks in the front door, ashes come out the back door, kid walks out the side door to be shipped back to the US. Rinse, lather, repeat. It’s a gold mine, baby!
The kind of sword with two blades and no hilt?
and blades as sharp as lutefisk
Haven’t you heard? Obama is equipping the 8-year-olds with AK47s to man the FEMA death camps.

No, Mr. Lewis, you have to ask where are their brains.
The very few Hispanic relatives that I know that are very conservative told me that what the Republicans are doing to the Dreamers is what is making them think twice about supporting Republicans, and then the glee and hate shown in the open launched at poor kids will not help either.
Several Republican members of the House went to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate their anti-DREAMer vote. Seriously.
